This was the first time I had experienced a proper River Trent Aegir. The ONLY 4* and largest aiger of 2011!
A truly wonderful experience.
Make sure to stay with the video, as two barges then follow the tide about 5 minutes after the Aegir had passed.
There is another video i took shortly after, showing a huge dutch container vessel being pulled and pushed by two smaller boats down the trent and against the very fast tide - a must see!!!
The Trent Aegir usually appears during high spring tides and the most reliable time to see it is after a long period of dry weather.
Its size can be affected by winds and freshwater levels. High freshwater levels can reduce its height and delay its arrival. A following wind can increase its height and advance its arrival.
